Tricks to Eating (Healthy) Halloween Treats

When most folks think of Halloween, they immediately jump to visions of sugary candy with harmful ingredients like high-fructose corn syrup and synthetic dies (yikes!). So how do you trickyour little souls into eating healthy treatsthis Halloween? We’ve put together two fun and tasty recipes that magically hide some very powerful and nutrient-dense ingredients!

Your little ones will love these just as much as their Halloween candy… well, almost.

Dunk the banana halves into the tub of Greek yogurt until fully covered. Quickly roll the yogurt-covered banana in Mamma Chia White Chia Seeds, followed by the coconut shreds. Arrange three chocolate chips onto the banana to create a face.

Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, freeze overnight and enjoy!

In a medium mixing bowl, mix the honey and almond butter together until smooth.

Add the oats, chia seeds, rice crisps, coconut shreds and protein powder and mix together until it forms into a (nearly solid) dough. Roll the dough into 12 balls and place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil on the stove or in the microwave at 30 second increments.

Dunk the balls into the white chocolate mixture and place back onto the baking sheet. Once all have been covered, place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.

Once set, remove the balls from the fridge and use the remaining white chocolate to drizzle on top to “mummify.” While the chocolate is still wet, place mini chocolate chips as eyes.

Return to the refrigerator to set once again for an additional 30 minutes and enjoy!

If you couldn’t already tell, we LOVE pumpkin! What do we love more than pumpkin? Pumpkin with chia seeds, of course! Pumpkin, just like chia, is a Magical superfood loaded with fiber and disease-fighting nutrients like magnesium, potassium, Vitamin C and E. However, the star in this fruit is the abundance of carotenoids! In just one ½ cup serving, you get more than 200% the recommended daily intake of alpha-carotene and 100% of the daily recommended intake of beta-carotene!

What better way to enjoy pumpkin than with a delicious bowl of Chia Pumpkin Overnight Oats? These oats are a tasty and effortless way to benefit from the powerful nutrients of pumpkin and chia. Top with our Cinnamon Pecan Chia Granola Clusters and you’ve got a Magical creation!

Mix ingredients together for overnight oats in a large bowl. Use a whisk to evenly distribute the chia seeds within the oats. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight or let sit for a minimum of 4 hours.

Combine ingredients for Pumpkin Pie Layer in a separate bowl and mix well.

In a bowl or mason jar, layer the overnight oats with the pumpkin pie layer on top of each other until desired.
